Blue Screen of Death on new system - help!!

Jul 23, 2007 10:50AM PDT

I just built a new system using an ECS 6100sm-m motherboard and athlon 64 x2 6000+. Initial Vista Home Premium x32 instal went fine, but after updating motherboard drivers and Windows updated Vista, now I get a Fatal error message at shut down. Sometimes it reboots automatically, sometimes just freezes on blue screen. Tried system restore and still no luck. Looked into updating bios, but unclear whether this would help (and a little scary for a newbie like me). I'm dead in the water and need help resolving the fatal error.

Tks
